UC02 USB Rechargeable Keychain Flashlight

The Fenix UC02 is a USB rechargeable keychain flashlight. This incredibly small, mini flashlight is powered by a single 10180 rechargeable battery and delivers a maximum of 130 lumens. A reliable twist head activates the two brightness levels. Twist the head off to access the micro-USB charging port (USB cable not included). Completely dust proof and waterproof, this keychain flashlight is perfect for everyday carry.

The UC02 is built like a tank and shockingly bright for its tiny size– don’t even bother comparing this to every other keychain light you’ve wasted your time on because this isn’t in the same ballpark. Just like Pinnochio proclaimed that he’s a real boy, after about a month’s use, this bad boy screams out to me that it’s a real flashlight and not just some novelty item. Throw in the low price and built-in rechargability (as in, you don’t need a battery charger, just a cord that you almost certainly already own) and it seems like you’d have to go out of your way to come up with an excuse NOT to own one of these things.

One of the reasons I love the PD25 is that it’s small size and light weight makes it perfect for EDC, but this light one-ups the PD25 in its miniature size which literally makes it the smallest item on my keychain. Yes, 130 lumens isn’t as bright as a CR123 powered light, and its something I’d rely on to blind an attacker in a dark parking lot, but in most utility situations it is more than enough flashlight for the job at hand, whether it be for reading a map or lighting the undercarriage of a broken down vehicle. While some folks may debate filling their pocket with a typical EDC light when heading out for a mid-day jaunt to the grocery store, the UC02 just sort of sits back and shrugs its shoulders, because you don’t have to debate whether to carry it or not. Do you have a set of keys in your pocket? Slip a UC02 on the ring. Done.

I have been using this little light on my keychain for a few months now and it is quite reliable and durable! All the other previous small flashlights on my keychain fell apart, but this one is tight. I really like that it is rechargeable and bright!

I just got my first UC-02. This little flashlight is very impressive. It’s so bright! I’m glad I bought two because I gave one to my wife as soon as she saw it. I haven’t run the battery down yet so I cannot report on battery life. I’ll be buying more of these as gifts. Highly recommended.
